Needs Analysis to Develop a Practice Assessment Instrument for Learning Process During Covid-19 Pandemic

Abstract

Student achievement levels in learning can be determined through assessment. Covid-19 pandemic resulted in the changes of the learning system, including the assessment process. The study identifies the need to develop practice assessment instruments during the Covid-19 pandemic in the Fashion Design Education Program. The assessment practice was measured using an instrument development based on the ADDIE (Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, and Evaluate) model development stage, i.e., the needs analysis stage. The data were collected using a questionnaire, with a total sampling technique of 11 lecturers who teach practical courses in the Fashion Design Education Program. The data were analyzed by descriptive percentage analysis. The research reveals that 11 lecturers teaching practical courses have used practical assessment instruments, 54.5% of the assessment instruments used have not been equipped with rubrics. 90.9% compiled by the supporting lecturers were not tested for validity by the study group, 63.6% practice assessment instruments did not use pre-practice, practice, and post-practice components, and 81.8% found difficulties in preparing practical assessment instruments.
